Desert Thunder (PC)

Desert Thunder (PC)

Categoria: Shooter
Platformă: Jocuri PC
Producător: -
Designed by first-time developer Brainbox Games, Desert Thunder is a rough-and-tumble affair that puts you in the role of a tank commander who is stationed in an unnamed Middle Eastern hot spot. As is customary for most games of this ilk, you are the only remaining representative of the "forces of good." Everyone else has been permanently wiped from the map, and scheduled reinforcements are nowhere to be found. As a result, you and you alone must now battle hordes of unidentified terrorists.

As the game opens, you'll find yourself looking down upon your vehicle from a slightly elevated rear-chase perspective. You may raise or lower this vantage point and adjust the camera so that it follows either your swiveling turret or your tank, but otherwise, this is the only camera in Desert Thunder. Zooming is not permitted at any time, neither in the main window nor in the miniature topographical map/radar located in the lower left of the screen. You cannot access enemy views, weapons views, or binocular views, nor can you look freely about the countryside. And you can't jump inside your machine for a first-person perspective, either.

This absence of perspective variance is one of the big problems in a game that concerns itself primarily with the fine art of tank warfare. Though Desert Thunder often requires you to battle enemies over great distances or when hidden just behind a hillside or massive outcropping, it doesn't offer the necessary viewing tools for the job. Additionally, the game doesn't give you any method for controlling--or even knowing--the maximum length, the proposed arc, or the trajectory of your upcoming cannon or minigun volleys. Instead, you can only adjust your positioning and move your turret up and down blindly, not really knowing if you have a good read on the current situation until you've actually fired off a couple of volleys. Worse still, you can't adjust your cannon into a steep enough orientation to effectively lob shells toward short distance targets. Consequently, if you need to attack an enemy who's just 50 feet away but is positioned on the other side of an obstacle, you're forced to bring yourself, at least partially, into the open to do so. Furthermore, you're never able to stealthily tuck yourself away behind an object, which prevents you from skillfully working out a proper trajectory for your attack.

That having been said, Desert Thunder is far from a stealthy game. In reality, this is an action-packed arcade-style game. Moreover, unless you really need to use a given object for cover, the suggested tactic is to shoot everything that looks even marginally shootable. That list includes live enemy vehicles, the smoking hulks of damaged enemy vehicles, large fortresses, small structures, guard towers, airplanes, and even perfectly innocent boulders and palm trees. Why? Because there's a chance that by taking out that big rock in front of you, you'll also impact or kill the enemy who's hiding behind it. Furthermore, many of the seemingly most innocuous objects house the very staple of the Desert Thunder world--the power-up.



You'll blast plenty of scenery to bits.

Yes, Desert Thunder has power-ups. When you begin the game, you have an infinite number of basic cannon shells and basic minigun rounds. But to appreciably advance, you need the beefed-up ordnance you can only find through power-ups. Whether you uncover a high-impact shell, a homing shell, a hellfire shell, an armor-piercing minigun round, or a 10-percent or 50-percent repair token is unknown, but you can bet that you'll discover at least one of the above in every three or four rocks or palm trees that you demolish.

Certainly, you'll need all the help you can get when you move beyond the game's "easy" level to the "standard" level and then to the ultra-demanding "difficult" levels. Newcomers will undoubtedly want to first try their hands at easy mode, where they can most often barnstorm through their enemies without too much fear. Here, they'll face substantially smaller numbers and significantly less-destructive firepower. However, when campaigning the "standard" or "difficult" levels, the sheer number of enemy forces and the damage factor of their weapons grows by leaps and bounds. At the difficult setting, wherein adversaries attack the moment you become visible, the game's lack of advanced targeting and camera/zoom functions becomes a serious detriment. Ultimately, you'll be compelled to play in a fastidiously cautious fashion by creeping along--sometimes an inch or two at a time.

Medal of Honor: Afganistan

Medal of Honor: Afganistan
Seria Medal of Honor si-a creat multi fani de-a lungul timpului, însa acum face o miscare asteptata de ceva timp. Al doilea razboi mondial a fost lasat în urma, iar producatorii s-au orientat spre conflictele moderne. Pentru a putea concura cu seria Modern Warfare, cei de la EA din Los Angeles au mutat câmpul de lupta în Afganistan. Jucatorul va intra în pielea unui luptator din unitatea Tier 1 Operator, trimisa acolo unde nicio alta unitate speciala nu s-ar descurca. Evenimentul Video Game Awards 2009 a fost ales de EA pentru a lansa primul trialer din Medal of Honor. Jocul va fi lansat pentru PC si console undeva în toamna lui 2010. Cand ne-am apucat sa reinventam Medal of Honor, am vrut sa ramanem fideli realismului si respectului pentru soldati, dar sa aducem actiunea in razboiul de astazi”, a declarat Greg Goodrich, unul dintre producatorii acestui joc. Medal of Honor este produs tot de studioul din Los Angeles al Electronic Arts, dar multiplayer-ul va fi dezvoltat de catre DICE, cei responsabili pentru seria Battlefield.

Football Manager 2010

Football Manager 2010
Sega si Sports Interactive anunta ca cel mai nou joc din seria Football Manager va fi lansat pe data de 30 octombrie pentru PC, Macintosh si intr-o versiune speciala pentru consola Playstation Portable. Football Manager 2010 va include o sumedenie de imbunatatiri fata de predecesorul sau, navigarea va fi usurata, iar informatiile receptionate de la meciuri vor fi mai usor de interpretat. Va exista un nou sistem de tactica, o interfata imbunatatita si odata cu aceasta versiune isi va face debutul unealta de analiza a meciurilor. Cele mai importante imbunatatiri fata de versiunea anterioara vor fi urmatoarele: Optimizare - un an de optimizare (cel putin asa zic producatorii), care va duce la rularea mai rapida a jocului, il va face mai usor si mult mai “user-friendly”. Motorul grafic 3D imbunatatit – s-a mai lucrat la AL, s-au adaugat 100 de animatii noi, terenul de joc va fi mai aratos, iar per total meciurile vor fi mai realiste. Statistici avansate pentru fiecare meci – acum vom avea posibilitatea de a vedea unde a centrat, pasat, sutat, etc fiecare jucator de pe teren, astfel vom afla punctele slabe sau forte ale echipei noastre sau adverse. O noua interfata – in FM 2010 vom avea o interfata diferita fata de jocul din 2009. Va fi bine sau rau? Din capturile de ecran nu ne puteam da seama, asteptam versiunea demo. Un nou sistem de tactici – ca si la interfata s-a facut o “revizie generala” si la sistemul de tactici. Bineinteles pentru fanii mai vechi ai jocului au pastrat si obtiunea de a-l folosi tot pe cel vechi.
